Artists and robots: artificial imagination rules?
Our world has been universally and uniformly transformed by advances in artificial intelligence and its scientific, industrial, financial and domestic applications. We might be forgiven, then, for thinking that art, to paraphrase André Malraux, would be the last (direct) path from man to man. The Artists & Robots project explores this other, less publicised but no less actual dimension of the rule of advanced technology: the advent of the artificial imagination. Is a machine capable of being an artist’s equal? Can a robot ever replace a painter or sculptor? To what extent is there such a thing as artificial creativity? Five hundred years ago, Leonardo da Vinci drew dream machines - a floating palace, a helicopter, a tank, an industrial loom. But this kind of visionary genius does not seem to have dared imagine a machine to replace the artist. Machines to create: these are the works presented in the first museographic exhibition organised by the Rmn-Grand Palais to look in detail at artificial imagination in its various artistic materialisations, and to address the major issues raised by this technical revolution: artists who create machines that create art.

Curators: Miguel Chevalier, artist, and Jérôme Neutres, director of strategy and development at the RMN-Grand Palais

Slow Motion

Solo exhibition | Maison de l'Amérique Latine, Paris, France
> 21/02 - 06/05/2017

"For the "Slow Motion" exhibition at the Maison de l’Amérique latine, Venezuelan artist Elias Crespin, famous for his programmed kinetic mobiles, has assembled an outstanding set of works created between 2010 and 2016.
[...] Elias Crespin’s mobiles are suspended in the air by invisible threads and their spatial configurations continue to surprise viewers. This programmed art, with no evidence of mechanical linearity, favours slowness over speed. The artist continues to surprise us depending on whether the forms distort, expand or disperse, going from order to chaos and from simple to complex."
Domitille d'Orgeval-Azzi, curator of the exhibition
